Rod to suit Penn International 16vsx
Submitted by Jimsjams44 on Wed, 2012-11-07 19:14
Hi guys,
Looking for suggestions for a rod to match my penn international 16vsx which is spooled with 65lb braid and a 80lb topshop to be used for game fishing.
Has anyone got a similar setup running? And if anyone is selling a compatible rod...
Cheers,
James

Pretty heavy line on a small reel, most people fish mono on there game reels but depends on what your chasin.
Any how what is your budget and what fish do you plan on chasin?

I already have two international 50w's with mono on them and I'm not fishing any competitions so there is no need for mono. I got told about these reels and the huge drag system on them and that they are primarily built to handle braid lines. I did a couple searches and they are very popular in the US for big tuna and medium size billies. I would be running the 16 with my other 50's.
I don't want to spend a fortune, probably something under $500.
